Martha Stewart’s longtime makeup artist, Daisy Toye, ruffled feathers during production on her first season of “The Real Housewives of New York” … after she allegedly told pals she wanted to trade her job with Martha for her fifteen minutes of fame … TMZ has learned.
Sources close to production tell TMZ … Daisy has made it clear behind the scenes that she hopes to launch a new career with ‘RHONY’ … which will let her stop working with Martha, whom she has been working with for 2 decades.
One source told us they felt Daisy was leaving Martha “high and dry” for fame.
We’re told Daisy’s loudest critic was her costar Sai De Silva … she knew Daisy for years before the show and called her out during production. Our sources tell us Sai, who is going through her divorce, claimed Daisy had an elitist attitude and wasn’t supporting her through her personal issues.
Our sources say Sai finds Daisy’s behavior “gross” and dragged her for filth during the seaspm.
During filming, the cast asked Daisy if she was in Martha’s will … and our sources say Martha will be shocked when she sees what happens on screen.
One source said … “It’s not a good thing.”

A Connecticut man jumped to his death at a concert over the weekend at Madison Square Garden in New York, with witnesses telling authorities that he appeared to be “intoxicated,” according to a report.
Paul Kueker, 51, a father of two, was celebrating his 25th wedding anniversary with his wife at Saturday’s Goose concert when he was captured on video falling head-first from a balcony in the 300s section and landed on other concertgoers below, according to the New York Post.
Kueker appeared to be “intoxicated” and “under the influence” before going over the 4-foot glass barrier shortly before 10 p.m., law-enforcement sources told the outlet, citing witnesses.
The man was unconscious and unresponsive after hitting the ground, police said.

He was then rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Several people he landed on suffered minor injuries, other sources told the outlet.
Kueker’s wife was by their assigned seats three sections away when the incident occurred, sources told the New York Post.
She was unaware of what happened to her husband until she was notified by authorities, according to the report. She thought her husband had taken a bathroom break.
New York City’s medical examiner’s office said on Monday that the cause of Kueker’s death remains under investigation. As part of the probe into the incident, the medical examiner said it was conducting a toxicology report.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Madison Square Garden said, “While we await the police report on the tragedy at last night’s Goose concert, we are deeply saddened by the loss of a fan’s life at Madison Square Garden.”

“Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the concertgoer,” the statement added.
The rock band, which consists of Rick Mitarotonda, Trevor Weekz, Peter Anspach and Cotter Ellis, released a statement shortly after the incident, extending their condolences to the victim’s family and loved ones.
“We are deeply saddened and heartbroken to learn of the tragic event that occurred at tonight’s show,” the band said. “We extend our deepest sympathy to everyone affected. Thank you to the emergency personnel and venue staff who stepped in with care and support.”
According to a GoFundMe page created by his daughter, Kueker was “a loving father, family man, and friend whose presence brought warmth and laughter wherever he went.”
“He loved spending time with his family and cherished every moment he shared with the people he loved. Whether he was cooking a meal for those around him or attending a concert to enjoy live music, he found joy in life’s simple moments and creating memories with others,” the fundraiser reads.

“The sudden loss of our dad has left our family heartbroken. We are struggling to process this unimaginable tragedy while facing the expenses that come with laying him to rest,” it added.

Clive Davis, one of the most influential record moguls in music history and the mastermind behind the careers of Whitney Houston, Barry Manilow, Earth, Wind & Fire, Alicia Keys and dozens of other artists, has died at 94.
Davis’ family confirmed in a statement shared with USA TODAY that he “passed away peacefully from age-related illness” at his Manhattan home on June 22, “surrounded by his family and loved ones.” Davis had recently been hospitalized for an upper respiratory infection.
With his omnipresent tinted glasses, dense Brooklyn accent and natty suits, Davis presented the image of an industry titan for seven decades.
He was both beloved by artists – “he’s like family to us,” Earth, Wind & Fire’s Verdine White told USA TODAY in 2021 – and maintained an unwavering affection for the music industry deep into his career.
“I found, by accident, a role for music in my life that became a natural part of me and I realized I had a natural gift for discovering artists,” Davis told USA TODAY in 2022, shortly before his 90th birthday. “Everybody faces challenges, but the importance of the work ethic, of keeping the bar up there for the standard of excellence – I feel that was very much a part of my life.”
Manilow, whose career ignited in 1974 with “Mandy” – a song Davis brought to him as a rock track with the title “Brandy” – says that initial experience led to a 50-plus-year relationship with Davis as professionals and friends.
“When I did my version of what we changed to ‘Mandy’ in one take with the vocal and piano and then added strings and horns and drums, that was the big moment for Clive to figuring out my strength,” Manilow told USA TODAY in 2026. “It’s been a lot of arguing over the years, but we both respect each other. It’s been a decent relationship when it comes to the music. And then it’s been an even better one as friends.”
Even as he aged, Davis was still deeply involved in choosing talent for his annual Pre-Grammy Gala. Days before the show, he could be found in his bungalow at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California, poring over his comments for that year’s event and talking excitedly about the newcomers he’d plucked to perform alongside legends.
“It’s not a matter of that I still want to be part of [the industry], I just am. And I wouldn’t change it for anything,” he told USA TODAY in a 2024 interview in his hotel suite.
Clive Davis ascends from lawyer to record label impresario
Clive Jay Davis was born April 4, 1932, in Brooklyn, New York. After the death of his parents while Davis was in his teens, he moved to Queens, New York, to live with his sister.
His scholastic endeavors brought him first to New York University College of Arts and Science, where he earned a degree in political science, then to Harvard, where he received a full scholarship and graduated in 1956.
Davis’ career began not as a music impresario, but a lawyer. In 1960, Davis joined the legal department of Columbia Records, a subsidiary of CBS Records, as a contract lawyer. His business acumen – such as successfully renegotiating a contract for Bob Dylan – caught the attention of CBS Records honcho Goddard Lieberson, and in 1967, Davis was appointed head of Columbia Records.
For years, Davis unearthed musical talent that would escalate into landmark artists: Janis Joplin, Santana, Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel, Chicago, Pink Floyd, Earth, Wind & Fire and Aerosmith were but a handful of his discoveries.
Davis’ ability to pinpoint talent was often tied to his nose for commercial success and ear for hits.
“If it wasn’t for Clive and Columbia Records in 1972, Earth, Wind & Fire as you know it today just wouldn’t be here on this level,” the band’s Ralph Johnson told USA TODAY in 2026. “He had vision, and it was his vision in conjunction with [band founder] Maurice White’s vision that made it happen. It was one of the greatest relationships ever.”
But despite his innate ability for star making, Davis’ early career was tainted by a scandal.
In 1973, Davis was fired from CBS/Columbia after a government investigation into the financial irregularities in the record industry found that he used company money for personal expenses. A civil suit filed against him charged Davis with illegally spending almost $94,000 in corporate funds for items including a bar mitzvah for his son at the Plaza Hotel and redecorating his Central Park West apartment, according to The New York Times.
Davis denied the charges and three years later, after pleading guilty for failing to report $8,800 in income on his 1972 Federal tax return, received vindication from the judge in the tax evasion case.
A New York Times story from 1976 noted that the judge said Davis was “a victim of ‘appalling publicity’ that had unfairly linked him to charges of payola and organized crime in the record industry. The only indictment against him was for tax evasion.”
Clive Davis steers Arista Records to major success with Manilow, Springsteen
By then, Davis had been named president of Columbia Pictures’ record and music division, which merged its various labels into one – Arista Records.
While helming Arista – a post he held from 1974 until 2000 – Davis achieved massive success. Three months after the company started, Manilow struck lite-rock radio manna with his No. 1 hit, “Mandy.” Throughout the 1970s, Davis either discovered or steered the careers of artists ranging from Carly Simon to Springsteen to The Grateful Dead, who sometimes changed the lyrics to their song “Jack Straw” in concert to, “we used to play for acid, now we play for Clive.”
“He wanted us to at least be aware of the fact that you’re gonna say what you’re gonna say, but the presentation is going to dictate how people listen to it,” Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir told USA TODAY in 2022 about Davis. “He was older than us so we had to take [his advice] seriously. He knows art when he hears it. So that lyric, it was kind of snide, but we never meant it as derogatory.”
Post-1979, Davis shepherded the career of Aretha Franklin, telling Billboard in 2016 that “Aretha belongs to all-time hits that still resonate.”
Clive Davis’ discovery of Whitney Houston among his biggest
One of Davis’ most monumental discoveries was Whitney Houston. The pair enjoyed a close professional relationship throughout her career, but, as Davis wrote in his 2013 memoir, “The Soundtrack of My Life,” not even he could successfully intervene to curb her drug use.
Following Houston’s missed opportunity to perform at the 2000 Oscars, Davis told the troubled songbird she needed to go to rehab, “She told me point-blank – politely, but in no uncertain terms – that whatever was going on with her was a personal matter and she had it under control. … She was in complete denial,” he wrote.
Houston died in February 2012, a few hours before Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, a storied tradition he began in 1976.
Davis served as co-producer on the 2022 Houston biopic, “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” which he told USA TODAY was one of his “most meaningful” projects. Stanley Tucci portrayed Davis in the film.
Along with detecting Houston’s talent in 1983, Davis culled a coterie of other radio regulars in the ’80s and ’90s – Thompson Twins, Taylor Dayne and Ace of Base among them – before expanding the Arista empire.
In the late-’80s he enlisted L.A. Reid and Babyface to form the subsidiary LaFace Records – which boasted a roster featuring TLC, Toni Braxton, Usher, OutKast and Pink – and in the mid-’90s partnered with Sean “Puffy” Combs to create Bad Boy Records, which spawned the careers of Notorious B.I.G., Faith Evans and Combs.
Davis was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000, the same year he left Arista. After learning that his bosses at BMG Entertainment were reportedly planning to replace him with Reid – which they did – Davis quit and later that year founded J Records.
Under his guidance, J Records ignited the careers of Alicia Keys, Jennifer Hudson and, through a joint venture with Octone Records, Maroon 5.
“I’ll never forget meeting Clive. I remember him being really appreciative and celebratory of the fact that I was my own artist. And I remember feeling so inspired,” Keys told People magazine in 2016. “[He] knew that if people could lay their eyes on me, if they could see what he saw, then they would see what he saw.”
In Davis’ nearly 600-page memoir, he documents lively behind-the-scenes tales, including Janis Joplin offering to consummate her record signing in more ways than one, Manilow bristling at recording “I Write the Songs,” and missing out on signing Elvis Costello and Meat Loaf.
A complementary documentary, “The Soundtrack of Our Lives,” arrived in 2017.
In his book, the twice-married Davis who is the father of four children, also revealed that he was bisexual.
He elaborated on his sexual fluidity in a 2019 Rolling Stone interview.
“I embraced bisexuality, which is the most misunderstood term in sexual identity. I never felt it was understood by much of the straight or gay community. You had to be either gay or straight — there was no in-between. I just opened myself up to the person rather than to the gender,” he told the magazine.
Why Clive Davis was the quintessential New Yorker
In August 2021, Davis spearheaded “We Love NYC: The Homecoming Concert,” an all-star gathering in Central Park designed to celebrate the reopening of the city after more than a year of pandemic-fueled strife.
Davis crafted a marquee lineup that included Springsteen, Earth, Wind & Fire, Jennifer Hudson, The Killers and Paul Simon, but a massive thunderstorm silenced the show before many of the top names could perform.
Still, it was a fitting inclusion in Davis’ fabled career, because no matter his worldly accomplishments, his heart always remained in his hometown.

The bitter legal war between Jay-Z and attorney Tony Buzbee just took another turn and this round went to Roc Nation.
According to court docs, obtained by TMZ, a Texas judge has dismissed all claims against Jay-Z’s company in lawsuits brought by two former Buzbee clients for lack of jurisdiction. The litigation involves claims Roc Nation and lawyers working with Jay-Z’s camp improperly targeted Buzbee’s clients amid the fallout from the Diddy scandal and later allegations involving Jay-Z.
The lawsuits were among several legal offshoots spawned by the escalating feud between Buzbee and Jay-Z’s team after Buzbee filed a now withdrawn lawsuit that included claims of sexual assault against the rap mogul.
Jay-Z denied the allegations and aggressively fought back, claiming Buzbee of pursuing false allegations and launching multiple legal challenges against the attorney.
Now, a judge ruled the state lacks personal jurisdiction over Roc Nation and dismissed the claims against the company. The ruling does not address the merits of the allegations, so it’s possible the claims could be refiled elsewhere.

Taylor Swift held a lavish, celebrity-filled bachelorette bash at her iconic Rhode Island mansion—just weeks before she and Travis Kelce are set to exchange vows.
The countdown to Swift and Kelce’s wedding is officially on, and this weekend, the “Lover” hitmaker, 36, reportedly welcomed her closest friends to her Rhode Island estate, which is famously nicknamed Holiday House, for a lavish bachelorette celebration, according to TMZ.
The outlet reported that several of Swift’s longtime friends arrived at the waterfront property, with fireworks later lighting up the sky above the home as the festivities got underway.
Details surrounding Swift and Kelce’s big day remain shrouded in secrecy, though recent reports have fueled speculation that the pair will say “I do” at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on July 3.
The singer’s decision to host the gathering at the estate comes as little surprise.
Over the years, the sprawling residence has become synonymous with her star-studded Fourth of July celebrations, which have drawn a host of celebrity guests.
According to neighbors, the festivities wrapped up by Friday, with Swift’s guests departing early Saturday morning.
Meanwhile, while the bride-to-be celebrated with her inner circle in Rhode Island, Kelce was spotted spending time with friends on the opposite coast in Los Angeles.
Though she has taken a few years off from her hosting duties—namely when she dated British actor Joe Alwyn, from 2017 until 2023—the singer’s parties have become one of Hollywood’s most talked-about A-list gatherings.
The residence—which is located in the exclusive enclave of Watch Hill in Westerly and is known locally as “Holiday House”—currently sprawls across 11,000 square feet and features seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms.
However, it was revealed in 2025 that Swift was carrying out some extensive renovations that will see the property outfitted with an additional bedroom, while one of the existing rooms will be turned into an “enlarged bedroom suite,” according to the planning application.
In total, the project will add 400 square feet to the property.
The renovation will be completed by a team of Rhode Island–based contractors, led by David W. Shafovaloff, who is located in Hope Valley and describes himself on LinkedIn as a “self employed construction project manager” who specializes in “high end residential and commercial construction.”
Should the renovations be done and dusted, it’s thought that Swift will want to take full advantage of her waterfront property for the holiday, particularly given that she was unable to host the annual gathering in 2024 because she was traveling the world on her “Eras Tour.”
Swift’s close connection to the Rhode Island house is no secret—with one source telling Us Weekly in August 2024 that the singer visited the property that same month with the likes of Lively, Ryan Reynolds, Patrick Mahomes, and Jason Kelce, in order to ground herself in the midst of her busy tour.
“Taylor has been on tour and working nonstop, and she loves the Rhode Island house and wanted to spend some time there while the weather is still good and she can enjoy it,” the insider explained.
“It has felt wonderful to be grounded back home again. It’s been grounding to see friends and family and spend quality time with everyone, chat and get downloaded on everyone’s worlds because she has been so busy and disconnected.”
The Rhode Island house is also where Swift is said to have headed almost as soon as her “Eras Tour” wrapped—and where she is understood to have taken some much-needed time off, alongside Kelce.
In addition to its many bedrooms and bathrooms, Swift’s opulent home currently features a 36-foot-long parlor and an octagonal dining room.
The news of her bachelorette party comes mere days after NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani confirmed that Swift and Kelce are going to say “I do” in the Big Apple—revealing that the highly anticipated wedding will take place before the FIFA World Cup draws to an close on July 19.
Mamdani, 34, who was sworn in as mayor of New York City on Jan. 1, 2026, let slip the information during a press conference in which he addressed the NYPD’s ability to keep New Yorkers safe during large events, particularly when so many big-ticket occasions are taking place at the same time.
Speaking specifically about the World Cup, which is being hosted by 16 cities across the U.S., Canada, and Mexico—with the final set to take place at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey—Mamdani noted that New York is more than equipped to handle the pressures associated with such a large-scale event, even when it coincides with Swift and Kelce’s nuptials.
“We are used to big events, and we are incredibly excited for [the FIFA World Cup],” he said. “We know it coincides with the Knicks’ [NBA] Finals run. We know it coincides with July 4, America 250, Taylor Swift’s wedding—all happening at the same time—and we are so excited to welcome the world here.”
His comments will no doubt reignite furious speculation that Swift and Kelce, both 36, are due to wed in a dramatic ceremony at the iconic Madison Square Garden on July 3—following early reports that they were planning to tie the knot in Rhode Island.
Focus has only recently turned to New York as the suspected host city for the couple’s wedding after months of speculation that the duo had nailed down a wedding venue near the pop star’s stunning vacation home in Westerly, RI.
In April, Page Six reported that Swift and Kelce are planning to wed in New York—where the singer also owns a home—claiming that their “save the date” not only lists the Big Apple as their location of choice, but also notes that they will tie the knot on July 3.
Previous reports had suggested that Swift and Kelce’s wedding would take place on June 13 in a nod to the “Bad Blood” singer’s lucky number.
If the latest reports are true, the A-list couple will join a long line of celebrities who have wed in New York City, where Swift has owned property for more than a decade.
